That means if any of the aforementioned free agents were to sign with another team this offseason, Seattle would not receive a compensatory draft pick in return.

McCray was one of the more productive players in this group during his two years in Seattle, appearing in 32 regular season games, starting seven, as a backup safety. However, Seattle recently drafted three safeties so it's not surprising to see that the 28-year-old backup wasn't asked to re-sign.

The same goes for Morgan, a starter for Seattle in 2016. Coach Pete Carroll expressed a desire to acquire more depth at the linebacker position, then the team acquired a trio of veteran free agents: Terrence Garvin, Arthur Brown and Dewey McDonald.

Reece, a former Washington Huskies receiver who appeared in just four games for Seattle last season, caught five passes for 73 yards as a fullback.

Hester, the league's all-time leading return man who joined the Seahawks at the end of the 2016 regular season, hinted after the Seahawks' loss at Atlanta in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs in January that he plans to retire from football.
